I got so much wonderful feedback from my “From A To Zoo” story on the animalia-decorating craze in the May 2009 issue of Style At Home magazine, and one of my – and your! – fave elements of the feature was the gorgeous Galbraith & Paul “Birds” linen fabric hanging on the right. Natural linen, hand-block printed in muted citrus yellow, orange and green, it’s a work of art in its own right.

But if you thought it was pretty against a window, take a look at this…

That’s right… The Birds print (on silk, this time) is being applied to a funnel pendant lamp shade at Galbraith & Paul’s Philadelphia, PA, headquarters. 

And here’s the finished product, to the extreme left of this grouping of Galbraith & Paul’s silk funnel pendants.

Love it!!!

These pretty pendants are available at 2Modern – a U.S. etailer that ships to Canada. Yay!

No, this isn’t another exotic new wallcovering. It’s actually artisanal, hand-made paper, imported by Papeterie in Thornhill, Ontario. I had the chance to chat with Papeterie’s Zarine Baxter at the Canadian Gift and Tableware Association show back in January, and totally fell for her artful applications of these gorgeous papers. Check out the metallic print from above, applied to home office accessories…

What a gorgeous way to add some style (and organization!) to a home office. (They also make for great host gifts when traveling, as each of these pieces fold flat!)
